For the past six years, MacNamara organizes and hosts a holiday fundraising event to raise money for St.Baldrick’s Foundation in honor of his niece Fiona. In 2011, the then two year old was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. After a year that MacNamara can only describe as “hell” now healthy 9-year-old went into remission.

MacNamara, his friends and his family have come together every year since then to work toward saving others from such suffering.

To date, the online campaigns and annual events have raised $52,656 for St.Baldrick’s, according to MacNamara who donated that online campaign’s final $20. He did so in honor of his mother, Fiona’s grandmother, who passed away in 2014.

When asked by QNS how it felt to raise such a sizable amount of funds MacNamara refused to take credit.
